Imagine a world where the dead walk among us—not as zombies, but as fully interactive ghosts demanding answers. That’s the chilling premise of Prism, Netflix’s upcoming supernatural series that’s already generating buzz for its star-studded team and mind-bending concept.
Netflix is keeping tight-lipped about the project, but insider reports confirm that Stranger Things powerhouse Millie Bobby Brown and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel standout Rachel Brosnahan are set to lead Prism, an eerie new series produced in collaboration with AGBO, the studio behind blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame. Brown won’t just act in the series—she’ll also executive produce, alongside Brosnahan and AGBO’s heavy-hitters, the Russo brothers (Captain America: Civil War).
But here’s where it gets intriguing: Brown will portray Cassie, a woman gifted (or cursed?) with the ability to communicate with ghosts. Her mission? To unravel a global phenomenon causing spirits to materialize en masse before chaos erupts. Think The Sixth Sense meets The X-Files, with a dash of apocalyptic urgency. Deadline reports the series is adapted from a short story in Assemble Artifacts, a cult-favorite magazine, with writer Nick Shafir (Assemble Media) co-producing.
The creative team is stacked: Etan Frankel (Shameless) will serve as showrunner, while AGBO’s Russos and their producing partners will helm the project alongside Assemble Media’s Jack Heller and Caitlin de Lisser-Ellen. And this is the part most people miss: Both Brown and Brosnahan are no strangers to the supernatural. Brown’s Stranger Things battles with the Upside Down and Brosnahan’s upcoming role in Superman prove they’re primed for a ghostly showdown.
Now for the controversial twist: What if ghosts wanted to stay? The series begs wild questions—would society grant spectral rights? Could deceased actors return to reclaim their roles, rendering CGI and AI obsolete? (Would Hollywood even allow it?) It’s a provocative thought experiment: Would you welcome back a lost loved one, or would their presence unravel the fabric of reality?
So, where do you stand? Could you coexist with the undead, or is this a dystopian nightmare waiting to happen? Sound off in the comments—let’s debate whether Prism is poised to be the next Stranger Things… or a haunting misfire. 👻**
